From the beginning I had Michi helping me plan the event, she was so helpful and friendly and really made the experience super positive from the start point! The day of the event things got even better, the whole staff in this place was incredible they helped us with every little detail to set up and to clean up, the painting activity was a success with all the kids, we had kareoke and a photobooth as well which the teens loved! The teacher of the painting class was also super nice and great guiding a crazy group of teenagers in the activity lol This place is part of a big venue that you can use for any type of event so I totally recommend it!

Parking is free and plenty of it! They have small horses for the kids to ride on for $5 - total of 4 horses. Then as you keep walking around you come across other rides - each ride $3 or you can pay $10 for 4 rides plus $6 for unlimited time in their massive bounce house. I like the set up of the bounce house because it has a bunch of foldable chairs in front where you can keep a close eye on your child/children. My family got there around 1:45pm and spent 3 hours walking, enjoying the time seeing my nephew on the various rides. If you have children from ages 2-7 years old this is a good place for them to burn some energy. Everyone we came across was very nice and helpful...I can definitely see my family and I coming again.

Great place, fun games for the kids, took my daughter and my nephew and they both had a blast!read more

What's firstly amazing about Jungle Island is how missable it is after driving by it on this island…read moreFOR YEARS. Just makes finally having visiting this venue so much more special with how incredible it is. Secondly, amazing is how big it feels despite its size and location (granted, I visited at night for a special event, so your mileage may vary) - though I admit, the exhibits seem too small for some of their fauna inhabitants. Third and finally, visiting it for said special event, Luminosa, was ABSOLUTELY wondrous. Made the visit absolutely worth it (even if my bus almost missed the stop). Plus, the staff is so kind and accommodating. We as a society need to invest and support spaces and places like this that not only offer incredible experiences, but also give back to all its visitors and urban spaces they inhabit - even if they're on a small, missable island (jajaja).

I spent $20 on parking, $200 on tickets, and 45 minutes signing waivers just to walk into the…read moresaddest, most depressing animal facility I've ever seen. They promised an 11:30 "show" and even texted me to be on time. The show was a skunk that immediately ran away three times, and a snake that looked dead and never moved. The conditions were shocking: birds crammed into tiny cages stacked next to each other, kangaroos trapped in small empty pens, and the largest tortoise I've ever seen stuck in an enclosure the size of my living room -- with another tortoise. Every animal looked stressed, sad, or neglected. My kids were so upset we left early. I'm ashamed I spent money here, but I'm glad I saw it so I can warn others. This place is cruel, depressing, and should not be allowed to operate.

It's clearly geared toward kids, but we still had a good time as adults. We were able to pet the goats and sheep and talk with one of the staff members, who was friendly, patient, and happy to answer our questions. It made the visit feel welcoming rather than just a quick walk-through. There are a few growing pains, it seems. Some areas could use clearer signage, and the place felt a bit understaffed at times but nothing that ruined the experience. Overall, it's a worthwhile visit. Adults will enjoy it, and kids will almost certainly love it.

Here at Pinto's Farm in the Redlands area of Miami, FL, I'd like to highlight two sections around…read morethe grounds that made for a worthwhile visit. The first part is the paddle boats. Designed to accommodate 2 passengers, leisurely float down the tropical inlet of a man-made river. Riders can enjoy unlimited paddling trips and it's a nice way to appreciate nature, surrounded by colorfully green waters and palm trees. Next area of the farm to check out is the Petting Zoo. Quickly grab the attentions of goats and sheep by purchasing a small bucket of hay for $5. The animals are not shy and they have endless appetites. Pinto's Farm also has a race track, pony and tractor rides. The Brewery House offers food and refreshments and Pinto's Ice Cream Truck sells handcrafted milkshakes. General admission is $20 per person on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Overall, Pinto's Farm is a pleasant way to spend a few quality hours within the suburban community of Miami, FL.

Well, I must have come on a bad day. Maybe the animals were tired. Maybe the staff were tired. I…read moredon't know. All I know is I felt like I was at my cousin's house and they happened to have animals. There were no directions or explanations...until it came time to pay. Now that part was explained perfectly. Honestly, I probably could have seen the same thing at my local shelter and saved $30. I'm hoping the money goes toward helping the animals, but it's really hard to tell. They have goats, plenty of birds, llamas, pigs, and horses. I wouldn't call it a true petting zoo because most of the petting is done through a gate. If you want a horse ride, you have to ask. No one offers or tells you about it. Everything looked like it could use some updating or repairs, and the overall vibe from most of the staff was, "Please hurry up so we can get back to what we were doing." A couple of employees were pleasant and helpful, but they weren't going above and beyond. They simply gave us what we asked for. Overall, I probably won't be back. At least my $30 went toward helping the animals...I hope.

Despite living in Miami for 17 years, I had somehow never been to Monkey Jungle. I finally stopped…read moreby on a recent trip and I'm glad I did. It's smaller than I expected, but still a lot of fun and definitely unique. Pro tip: arrive early in the day. Once the heat picks up, the monkeys tend to stay out of sight, so the earlier you go, the better your experience will be. Pro tip 2: The signage for the bathroom is awful. The bathroom is located in area where the monkeys are over the water. The exhibits were interesting, but the highlight was feeding the monkeys through the cages and watching them cleverly lift the little food trays really entertaining to see up close. The staff was friendly and informative, and the whole visit felt relaxed and enjoyable. I'd definitely recommend it, especially if you're looking for something a little different to do in Miami.

They have an outdoor enclosed section which includes rock climbing and what looked like axe throwing (for kids). Inside they have plenty of arcade games along with laser tag. They also have some cool new bowling lanes in the back. I didn't get to taste the food or drinks but they did have a pretty wide diversity of options including the usual fair, pizza chicken fingers and more importantly alcohol for the adults but also lomo saltado and chicken and waffles. They also have private room upstairs for parties. The kids had a great time and it's pretty enclosed so not easy to lose track of your kid. Overall it's a solid option to host a party and keep the kids entertained.
